Well ty to Escaping Dreams for my first review. Well...Virus is a very mysterious person :)

REWRITTEN

All five of us hung in the cafeteria that afternoon, L was busy fixing Nears robot, Mello was snacking on more chocolate,as usual. Near quietly sat besides L ,watching ,while twirling his locks of hair, while Matt played on my laptop that i had I brought with me.

Matt and Mello were always such a ruckus, shouting and swearing as they played interesting occurred until my laptop popped up an unusual message.

[ new message ]

Title : Life is Beautiful.

To : V.V

From : ****

'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.'

[ Alert ] ************************************************** ***********

[Virus Detected] **************************************************

The screen continuously flashed. Matt panicked & curse colorful language, Mello just laughed at Matt, doing the 'in your face dance' but L & Near just stood and stared at the laptop. I just sat across the table calmly drinking peach tea.

"Virus, there's a god damn …ermm…. virus on the loose in your laptop. Five hundred of them!" Matt yelled from across the table but I just nodded.

"How could you be so calm in a situation like this?"

I placed the empty teacup back on its plate as I slowly turned the laptop around facing myself.

Everyone gathered behind me wondering what I would do in such situation.

After reading the message once then twice i told them,"This virus is a fake." and they all stared at me weirdly.

"You see here?" I pointed at the file that had flashing red '1's and '0's.
"If I translate that, the virus is called…. 'Beauty & the Beast'. By the sounds of this virus, it's one that has been made along time ago. It takes everything in the PC and the person who sends it will gain access to most of my personal details and corrupt the hard drive." I heard gasps and comments in the background, which died down after I spoke again.

"My highly updated security system and antivirus software's aren't capable of destroying it." I still remained calm since I've already thought of a solution.

"Who sent this to you then?" L asked curiously.

"According to the hidden name…" There was an awkward silence but only the furious typing could be heard.

"The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself ' life owner'."

" What you going to do? Give up?" Matt spoke above the whispers.

"I'm planning to create a virus myself to overtake his." I thought out loud.

"Like a battle?" Matt just became more and more interested.

"Yes, pretty much like a battle between two cyber robots." Then Near popped in.

"Did someone say robot?"

"V-chan, you said before. That the virus was a fake, how come?" Near asked.

'V-chan? He even gave me a nickname…' I let out a slight smile.

"What showed on the screen about having 500 was a lie, the real thing was the new download software. Since someone * cough * downloaded it, the virus has snuck in without increasing suspicion."

You could hear Matt and Mello sulking in their seats.

"Anyways, I've already created my own virus killer to take down ' Beauty & the beast', it's actually protecting my data." My voice showed my side of being proud.

"Is this the first time making your own virus?" L looked at me, curiously looking for an answer. I didn't reply.

"No wonder you called yourself 'Virus'. You're called that because you've been trained by top virus exterminator," L paused , "like your father."

"Correct detail but you've missed something vital. I'm not going to tell you though." I took my laptop from the desktop away from Matt who continued the detective game. I placed it back in its case as I walked towards the door and opened but I stopped in my tracks.

" I'll see you guys tomorrow."

I took my journey back to my room, but I couldn't help to think about my victory against ' Life Owner '.I sat in the same place on the wooden floor scanning my eyes on the laptop screen my eyes caught attention to the same virus message.

'V.V…could it…be…" I shook my head. 'No…. It must be a coincidence.'

At times like these, I'm surrounded by the darkness. Unpacking my clothes and belongings bring back the memories I wish to suppress. The photographs I only owned,tucked away in between books, of our bright days at the beach to music festivals. We were such a happy family. I never really noticed when things went wrong, so naive of me. It makes me wonder if ' he ' ever knew. Quickly packing the books away on the shelf, I slump in a chair and tiredly place my face against the cool wooden study desk. This new life of mine, will it be any better?

Well, that was chapter 4! Hope u liked it and please review~ VV& the DN cast would appreciate it. :)
